Easy to say. Tell that to Google and Dropbox - Guido has worked for both and they're on 2. Tell that to the companies that can't afford the creator of the language.
3 is not the easy choice.
Anyways, maybe try nim? I've heard good things.
- scrollaway 8y ago"2 or 3" wasn't a choice for Dropbox/Google, and even if it had been, it's not a choice that concerns you. All the stuff they produce publicly is Python 3-compatible.
- staticassertion 8y agoMy point is that tons and tons of companies, with many billions of lines of code, do not have an easy option. Plenty of the environment still has not moved over even outside of companies.
